ФОРМАТ ТОК-ШОУ ЛАРРИ КИНГА НА РОССИЙСКОМ ТЕЛЕВИДЕНИИ: ПРЕЕМСТВЕННОСТЬ И ТРАНСФОРМАЦИЯ

The article deals with the talk show format transformation of American TV host Larry King on Russian television. The object of the study was the program collection «Larry King Live», «Television Encounter» by U. Ott, «Rush Hour» by V. Listyev and «Pozner» by V. Pozner. The following parameters for comparing the programs were chosen: the style of the presenter, the choice of the subject of communication and its strategy and tactics, the time of broadcasting, duration, periodicity of the programs, and the degree of audience participation in them. The level of programs personalization, studio design and the use of additional locations, camerawork, entertainment techniques, etc. were also taken into account. According to the authors, over the period since the late 1980s dialog talk shows have been significantly modified under the influence of the specifics of the Russian media system, the changing demands of the target audience, and the country’s ethnic and cultural peculiarities. The authors see the transformation of the dialogical talk show genre in the Russian mediaspace as follows: the expansion of the thematic palette and its linkage to the current socio-political agenda, the complication of the compositional structure of the programs and the discussion drama, the expansion of the range of strategies and tactics of communication between the host and the guest, the techniques of entertainment and emotionality, the strengthening of psychologism and the enrichment of camerawork techniques. The role of the talk show host is also changing – he is becoming an increasingly important participant in the discussion, actively intervening in the course of the conversation and expressing his personal opinion. At the same time, there is a tendency to reduce the role of the audience in the program.

PIDGINISATION AS LINGUOCULTURAL PHENOMENON (on the example of African linguoculture)

This article identifies the features of such a linguocultural phenomenon as pidginisation and creolisation on the example of African linguoculture. The scientific problem is caused by the influence of globalisation on the state of languages and cultures within the framework of intercultural and interlanguage interaction, on the one hand, and the need to preserve native languages and cultures, on the other hand. The purpose of the article is to identify the key properties of such hybrid languages as Pidgin English and Creole English which operate in the largest country in West Africa – Nigeria. The research work is based on a combination of linguistic and cultural analysis method, which revealed the peculiarities of language and culture in the process of historical development, and comparative analysis method, which is the key to distinguish similar and distinctive features of Nigerian Pidgin English in relation to British English. The research work systematised the key historical, linguistic and cultural factors that influenced the formation and Pidgin English and Creole English development in Africa, and identified its key characteristics. It was proved that English is a universal means of interethnic communication for all social groups, but Pidgin English has simple structure at all language levels – phonetic, grammatical, lexical ones – and suits for everyday communication perfectly. Adapting to local realities, Nigerian Pidgin English at the phonetic level is the subject to assimilation and dissimilation of consonants, quantitative and qualitative reduction of vowels. The grammatical structure of Nigerian Pidgin English is the subject to maximum simplification, this level is characterised by the omission of articles; the use of abstract nouns in the plural form; the formation of adjectives’ comparison degrees and adverbs on the principle of a monosyllabic adjective; the use of simple tense forms of verb. The lexical structure of Nigerian Pidgin English is characterised by the functioning of high-frequency lexemes of autochthonous languages, which is due to the desire to follow the norms of native culture. All deviations from British English are explained by the need to create an accessible form of communication for all social groups using minimal linguistic means.

Social needs and problems of forced migrants from Ukraine on the way to social adaptation and integration in the host society (example of Germany)

The article provides a review of existing theoretical approaches to the study of adaptation and integration of migrants, identifying key factors that either facilitate or complicate these processes in host societies. The authors highlight markers of adaptability and integration, emphasizing the importance of utilizing foreign experience for the development of more effective migration policies. Adaptation is a process in which migrants change their habits, behaviour, and values to function most effectively in a new social and cultural context. The authors believe that the level of migrant adaptability can be determined by the level of their needs satisfaction. Integration, alongside adaptation, implies inclusion into a new society with opportunities to realize personal potential in areas such as work, education, civic activities, establishing communication, and comfortable coexistence with the local population. This entails not only the adaptation of migrants to a new society but also mutual efforts from the host community to create conditions under which migrants can fully realize their potential while preserving their cultural peculiarities. Based on primary and secondary sociological data, the social needs and problems of migrants from Ukraine (using Germany as an example) are analysed. The profile of migrants, reasons for leaving Ukraine, and choosing Germany as the host country (based on the «push-pull» theory) are identified. Lack of language knowledge and local laws, bureaucracy, access of children to preschool institutions and their schooling, unfavourable psychological state and uncertainty about the future, recognition of acquired education, working in positions with lower qualifications, difficulties in forming new social connections - these are the main obstacles that migrants from Ukraine face in Germany on their way to adaptation and integration.

Способы передачи безэквивалентной лексики при переводе «Сказки о царе Салтане» А. С. Пушкина с русского языка на английский

The translation of non-equivalent lexis incorporated into a poetic text is always a special complex problem for a translator, since, in addition to knowledge of a foreign language and proficiency in professional translation competencies, they must have a poetic gift and deep background knowledge. It is important for a translator to choose the right translation strategies in order to preserve not only the meaning of the poetic text, but also its rhythm, intonation, melody and cultural component. The aim of the study is to determine to what extent the translation strategies used contributed to the preservation of the national and cultural peculiarities of non-equivalent vocabulary when translating A. S. Pushkin’s “The Tale of Tsar Saltan” from Russian into English. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that for the first time a comparative study of two translations of the above-mentioned fairy tale was conducted, which made it possible to consider ways of transmitting non-equivalent lexis within the framework of a poetic text, evaluate the effectiveness of these methods and identify translation challenges that lead to wrong perception of the work by A. S. Pushkin. It was found that the translators used various methods of transferring non-equivalent lexis, among which the most frequent are transcription when translating proper names, analogue and description when translating realia, methods of description and calque when translating lacunae. It is shown that lacunae present the greatest difficulty in translating the poetic text of A. S. Pushkin. With the multiplicity of translation solutions, the meanings of non-equivalent lexical units were distorted in some cases, which did not allow to fully convey the national and cultural peculiarities of the work.

The Translation of English Proverbs into Albanian Language in the Religious Genre

Proverbs are short culturally-bound expressions that give practical advice or a moral based on real life experience; they constitute a source of folk wisdom. The translation of proverbs has long been recognized as a critical issue in the field of translation due to their cultural peculiarities and semantic properties. The meaning of a proverb cannot be understood by the individual words it is composed of. This study explores how proverbs are translated in the religious genre, from English to Albanian language. 100 proverbs have been selected from “KJV’S Holy Bible”’s chapter entitled “Proverbs” in order to collect data. The corpus of proverbs has been thoroughly analyzed; each of the proverbs has been individually analyzed in order to identify the translation strategy that has been employed. Mona Baker’s model of translation for idioms and fixed expressions is used as the theoretical framework of this research for the analysis of translation strategies. The study concluded that the majority of the proverbs are translated by using a proverb with a similar meaning but a different form. Nevertheless, a considerable number of proverbs have been translated by means of a proverb with a similar meaning and form. Additionally, the study demonstrates whether domesticating or foreignizing translation strategies are more suitable for the translation of the proverbs in question. The results of the study have concluded that domestication is a more suitable translation strategy for the proverbs of the religious genre.

National Heroes of Vietnam through the Lens of State Myth-making

The elevation by the state of certain historical characters to the rank of national heroes is always myth-making, which pursues its own goals. To understand such goals in relation to Vietnam, it seems important to consider its national heroes, especially since their list is actually determined at the state level. An analysis of the “official” national heroes of Vietnam allows us to draw a number of conclusions. The choice of characters is largely «Sino-centric», which generally reflects the role of the northern neighbor in the history of the Vietnamese state and its worldview in the modern period. Most of the heroes are military leaders and heads of state (mainly who went down in history because the resistance to the Chinese), and not cultural figures, science or art. At the same time, their official biographies are always close to the image of an ideal person, regardless of actual actions. Here one can see the Confucian basis of Vietnamese society, in which history is always positive. Noteworthy is the apparent lack of figures from the last two centuries (with the exception of Ho Chi Minh), which seems to reflect the following peculiarity of the political culture of Vietnam: power usually avoids personification. Also interesting is the modest number of characters associated with Buddhism and religion in general, which may be a consequence of the course taken in the last century to build socialism, which presupposes an atheistic view of the world.

Today more than 70 Pre-farming cultural monuments are discovered on the territory of Transcaucasisa. On the territory of Eastern Georgia, The Pre-farming culture, known as The Shulaveri-Shomutepe culture is familiar, which is more developed and relatively better preserved than The Neolithic settlements of Western Georgia. The topography of Western Georgia with a range of peculiarities is radically different from the types of the Eastern Georgian Neolithic settlements. The Shulaveri-Shomutepe settlement, which is known as the Shulaveri culture, is discovered in Eastern Georgia. During the study of the monument the scientists discovered the homes built with muud-bricks. Their design is round or cone-shaped. The settlement types and dwelling environment proves the sign of long life of numerous populations. In Eastern Georgia only the Late Neolithic monuments are found. Because of the warm climate of Western Georgia, the Neolithic human must have lived in a wicker peasant typed house. This conditioned sign of structures is not evident in the West. Only the pits for posts and economical purposes are discovered. So, the remains found in the earth which were used for rebuilding the weaker peasant typed houses that were out of order, only helps the increase of cultural layers insignificantly. According to the topographical layout and scientific observation, consequential migration of the Neolithic settlements from the mountain to the plain is evident according to the epoch. This is the sign of the fast evolution of society. In terms of topography, Western Georgian Neolithic monuments greatly differ. Shulaveri-Shomutepe cultural settlements are presented on the man-made hills and are relatively more developed than the Eastern Georgian settlements. Only very thin layers are presented in Western Georgia. The main thing is that the monuments of all periods are confirmed in the West as well as in the East, which is very important. Today the peculiarities of Neolithic culture remain the subject of discussion and need the search of new resources. The discovery and study of new artifacts may cause the becoming out-of-date of the Neolithic Era and arising of new questions.

Methods of the research. The following theoretical methods of the research were used to solve the tasks formulated in the article: a categorical method, structural and functional methods, the methods of the analysis, systematization, modeling, generalization. The experimental method was the method of organizing empirical research. The results of the research. We proposed socio-cultural approach in the process of education at high school at the English lessons. We proved that the main function of socio-cultural competence is a cultural function, which has the aim to create cross-cultural competence of the student almost at the same level as a native speaker. The main cultural function is a mean of building up a cultural-historical theme, and the native culture is not ignored. So, there is a parallel study of the cultural manifestations of native people and the people whose language is being studied. It was proved that the ways of developing of sociocultural competence to learning a foreign language has the aim to integrate language education interdisciplinary with the purpose to enrich bilingual competence of the student in order to fulfill the role of a subject of multi-cultural dialogues and to gain a role of a cultural mediator in the process of intercultural communication. Conclusions. We’ve shown, that from the standpoint of Sociocultural Approach, socio-cultural competence is understood by us as the functionally determined communicative interaction of people who are the representatives of different cultural communities and belong to different geopolitical, continental, religious, regional, national, ethnic groups, as well as social subcultures. It was shown, that partners of communication, of course, can differ from each other in value-oriented worldview, lifestyle, models of speech and non-verbal process of communication. For productive multi-cultural communication, a personality with a high level of socio-cultural competence must be a mediator of cultures, by which we understand a student who has knowledge about the peculiarities of different cultures and the peculiarities of their interaction. Socio-cultural competence allows a person to go beyond the background of his/her native culture and acquire the qualities of a mediator of cultures, without losing his/her personal cultural identity.

Gender Socialization of the Child in the Ukrainians’ Traditional Culture (Late 19th – Mid-20th Century)

The article is dedicated to one of the important aspects of Ukrainian traditional culture, namely the gender-role education of a child, his or her gender socialization. The relevance of the topic is specified with the high interest in the peculiarities of Ukrainian folk culture, its evolution and transformation, the need to understand the determining factors of the existence of Ukrainians of previous generations, a wide range of issues related to the social influence on the human personality in the past and present. A person’s adoption of a social role, acquisition of certain psychological traits, determined by society depending on gender, is a process of gender socialization. In traditional society, in particular Ukrainian one, this process has taken place through upbringing, using ritual and magical actions, designing a successful life scenario for the child. At the same time, ritualism is combined with practices related to the child’s appearance. The processes of gender-role socialization are reflected vividly in the ethnographic material of the late 19th and mid-20th centuries concerning maternity rites, norms related to the child’s appearance and initiation practices. Children’s clothing culture has largely reflected and consolidated the established norms of upbringing, social role. The change of the child’s status has been taking place with his or her maturity, especially with the attraction to economic activities. The social division of labour into women’s and men’s has been reflected both in the rites related to new-born children, through the use of appropriate attributes, and in attraction to corresponding work. Clear observance of symbolic rites has been combined with less regulated standards of appearance, those haven’t reflected a clear gender difference of children in certain periods of life. The process of raising a child in Ukrainian traditional culture implies the modelling of clearly regulated roles of adults, the symbolic consolidation of gender and the designing of a successful social role in the future.
